The ASEAN PGA Tour was a men's developmental professional golf tour. It was formed in 2007 and was created to give more competitive opportunities to young and upcoming professionals in the Southeast Asia region.[1]

The tour acted as a developmental tour to the now also defunct OneAsia Tour, giving cards to high finishers on the ASEAN PGA Tour Order of Merit each year.[2]

In 2008, the tour signed a deal with Mercedes-Benz, being renamed as the Mercedes-Benz Tour.[3] The deal lasted for three years and finished in 2010.[4]

The tour eventually folded in 2016 after not releasing a schedule for 2017.
